O God in different forms -
Thou art the Creator of the universe..
Thou art Destroyer of Mahishasura
Kill the asuras of lust, ego
and jealousy lurking in our hearts;
So that we can enthrone you with all splendor
Thou art bestower of wealth -
Grant us the boon of bhakti and shraddha;
Thou art dispeller of ignorance;
Kindle the lamp of wisdom in our hearts
So that it shines in all its brightness
To radiate light and knowledge all around us.
Let us dance and sing thy glories during nine nights
Let us bathe and rejoice in the ocean of divine love
Let us medidate on thy glorious forms
And attain the summum bonum of existence.
